Yasin said that he’d recently befriended the 29-year-old woman, who he claimed had a drug problem and no home, and so had been letting her sleep inside Ali Babas on a couch because he felt sorry for her, according to the affidavit.

An Ali Babas employee said that he, the woman and many customers had been drinking alcohol that night, that she passed out on the couch, and that he locked the doors and left her sleeping there at about 2 to 2:30 a.m., the affidavit said.

The woman said that after she drank vodka and smoked part of a joint that the employee gave her, she felt drugged and not in control of her body. She said the employee raped her while she was lying on the couch and took pictures of her naked with his phone, the affidavit said.

When the drugs wore off, the woman said, she was so angry that she wrote “Predator” with the duct tape on the door and on the couch cushion, which had her blood from the rape, the affidavit said.

The woman said she was scared and furious and wanted to leave evidence of the rape in front of the business, according to the affidavit.

The employee denied being intimate with the woman, however, the affidavit said.
